BaseStation 1000 Specification Sheet

Transcription

1 BaseStation 1000 The BaseStation 1000 is part of Baseline s family of intelligent irrigation controllers. It is easier to use and program than any other controller on the market, and yet it still provides you the essentials of intelligent irrigation management, including Baseline s patented soil moisture technology, weather-based watering, powerful central control, and mobile device compatibility that will save you time, money, and water. Display Features High contrast 3.25 backlit mono LCD screen Screen resolution 128x64 pixels Screen LCD brightness of 250 lumens for easy viewing in direct sunlight Smart Watering Modes Operating Features In addition to time-based watering, the BaseStation 1000 also operates in the following smart watering modes: Soil Moisture Sensor-Based Watering If you have a Baseline soil moisture sensor (bisensor ) installed in your landscaping and connected to your BaseStation 1000 irrigation controller, you can program the controller to water based on the moisture levels in the soil. Weather-Based Watering When operated in conjunction with BaseManager Plus and WeatherAccess, the BaseStation 1000 irrigation controller meets the EPA WaterSense program's waterefficiency and performance criteria. With the BaseStation 1000, you can combine Baseline s soil moisture sensor-based smart watering technology with the industry s best practices for weather-based irrigation. Supports up to 100 zones in any combination of two-wire and conventional wire Supports up to 40 separate programs with overlapping run times Supports up to 20 bisensor soil moisture sensors Supports up to 3 points of connection (POC). Each POC supports a flow sensor or meter, which manages and monitors flow across a site as independent or connected hydraulic systems Operates up to 7 normally open or normally closed master valves and pump starts for the entire system including booster pumps Supports up to 7 separate normally closed or normally open pause or event devices each device can be used to control perprogram start, stop or pause behavior Concurrently operates up to 15 typical solenoids over two-wire or up to 2 typical solenoids over conventional wire per 12- station Powered bicoder plus 2 additional solenoids using the VE00001 and VE00002 ports Specifications subject to change without notice pg. 1 Rev

2 Operating Features, continued Assign and configure any zone to one or more programs available flow to maximize concurrent valve operation and minimize total water time Maximizes watering efficiency and minimizes total irrigation time by using Intelligent Soak Cycles to prioritize cycles for zones that have already started to water over zones that have not started Automatically stacks up to 10 overlapping programs. The system can run any number of programs concurrently if permitted by the zone concurrency settings. Learns the actual flow for each zone when one or more flow meters are configured in the system Executes a high-flow shutdown based on total system flow or on flow per flow meter Intelligently schedules watering based on Runs a diagnostic test weekly on normally open master valves to help prevent a normally open master valve from sticking open Detects and repairs all address conflicts for devices that are connected to the two-wire from the controller Supports two-way communication with two-wire decoders (bicoders) to gather information about the two-wire voltage and communication integrity, the solenoid voltage and current, and status (open circuit, short circuit, or ok) Stores all program and history information in nonvolatile memory Programmable Features Program up to 8 start times per program in 10-minute increments Program the run times for zones from 1 second to 18 hours in 1 second increments Program the day intervals in even days, odd days, or odd days excluding the 31 st Create a custom 7-day calendar, and historical calendar with customizable half-months Program unique soak and cycle times (Intelligent Soak Cycles ) for each program. Soak times can be programmed between 0 minutes and 18 hours. Specify hours during each day of the week when water can or cannot be applied (Water Windows) in 1-hour increments for each 24-hour period Assign start, stop & pause irrigation modes to each program, including timed-based, event-based, and soil moisture sensor-based behaviors Manually enter a design flow for each zone, with or without an installed flow meter Automatically calibrate soil moisture thresholds and make irrigation decisions based on those thresholds Adjust seasonal water budget from 10% to 200% by program Schedule up to 8 future event dates when no watering will occur Manually operate one zone, or all zones of a program, with programmable run times, delay before starting first zone, and time between zones Search for and identify all devices connected to the two-wire and list them according to device type and serial number Address two-wire decoders (bicoders) by serial number by assigning each zone address a device serial number pg. 2 Rev

3 Programmable Features, continued WeatherAccess Re-address any two-wire decoder (bicoder) from the controller by re-assigning the device s serial number to a new zone address Assign any station or terminal number on a multi-station bicoder from the controller to any zone address in any order Back up all programming and historical data with any USB flash drive Establish 3 levels of local and remote PIN protection: status & stop, manual runs, and full programming access Configure pipe-stabilization time for flow management WeatherAccess applies real-time weather data from a weather station in your area (available in Weather Underground's weather station network), and configurable zone properties to a standardized evapotranspiration (ET) equation. This calculation estimates the loss of moisture from the root zone, and then the BaseStation 1000 uses the calculated value to adjust the runtime in order to apply just enough water to replace that lost moisture. Messages and Alerts Central Control and Remote Control Provides real-time soil moisture measurements and watering feedback to the user Includes integrated tools and software that self-diagnose problems and generate alerts and messages, and then displays the messages on the screen and remotely Displays on-screen historical run time information that includes total run time and water used for the last two watering days Displays actual or estimated flow values Displays a 7-day scalable soil moisture graph with 12 readings per day Displays all pause and stop conditions in message screens that are accessible from the main screen. The system displays one message for each condition, and the user can clear each message independently. Displays high flow alerts, low flow alerts, pause messages and conditions, and rain delays, wire faults, as well as other operating conditions Connect the BaseStation 1000 to BaseManager central control when configured with an approved communication module. Communication options include built-in Ethernet, Wi-Fi, cellular modem, Ethernet radios, and Long Haul Ethernet wired communications. The built-in Ethernet jack is 10/100 Base-T and accepts a standard RJ45 connector. The jack is compliant with CAT5, CAT5e, and CAT6 Ethernet cables. Program and operate a BaseStation 1000 from BaseManager central control and LiveView Receive and text message alerts when connected to BaseManager central control Perform manual operations remotely with Mobile Access when connected to BaseManager central control pg. 3 Rev
